If you want to learn about the roller-coaster riding habits of people, which is the best statistical question you could ask those leaving an amusement park?

A statistical question gathers data that can vary from person to person. Asking how many times each visitor rode a coaster will produce different answers and reveal their riding habits. “How many roller coasters are there at this park?” asks for one fixed fact about the park, not about visitors’ habits.
